LOCAL REAL ESTATE: The Power of Two
Buyers out in full force
By Real Estate duo Rose Arnott and Rosie Houghton of Prestige Real Estate local identities in the Takapuna community.
With the low interest rates and positive real estate environment, buyers are out there in full force. We have been seeing a surge in multiple offers on homes that are well priced. Many buyers have been disappointed when they have missed out, so what needs to be noted is that when you`ve found a great home that you are keen to own – don’t assume it will be there forever!
For Buyers – If you’re starting to look seriously then you need to also be thinking seriously about getting your home listed. Some sellers will not accept an offer that is subject to the sale of the buyers home. So be ready to list and sell your home now! You’re also in a much better negotiating position if you already have a firm sale.
Remember, buying your new home, whether its your first or your 10th, can be one of the most stressful times in your life. There are so many decisions to make, and its important to consider the following:
- What kind of neighbourhood do you want?
- What’s my realistic budget?
- What amenities are important to me?
- What size home and yard would I like to feel comfortable?
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms do I need?
- What are schools like in the neighbourhood?
- How long do I plan to live in this home?
Sellers – The main thing to keep in mind is that pricing needs to reflect the current market. You can ask whatever price you want – but the buyers are the ones that determine what your home is worth. So, what the message really is, is if you are serious about selling your home this year, and you`re willing to list at a reasonable price or go to auction then it probably will sell – so if this is the right time for you, let us help you get the best result possible!
